## Overview

The Starrett 117C Centre Punch is a 4-inch long, 1/8-inch diameter tapered point tool made from hardened and tempered alloy steel.

## Description

Product Description The Starrett 117C centre punch with round shank is 4" long and has a 1/8" (3 mm) diameter tapered point. The punch is made from hardened and tempered steel, which provides wear resistance and strength. The round shank is knurled for grip. Centre punches make small dimple marks in a workpiece to help guide a drill bit. Manual centre punches have a metal shank with a point and are typically tapped with a ball-peen hammer to mark the material. Automatic centre punches have an internal spring mechanism that enables them to mark the material without using a hammer, leaving one hand free for steadying the work. The L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology and testing equipment and saw blade products. The company, founded in 1880, is headquartered in Athol, MA. Box Contains 1 x Centre Punch with Round Shank

Review: Top quality. - Top quality tool. Should have bought one years ago. So useful for marking, starting off drilling, screwing, even nailing. And it's useful for a variety of materials from metal to plastic, stone to wood. Great for stopping "drill-bit walk".
Review: Great quality as ever from Starrett - Anything I ever bought from Starrett was well worth the money and so is this. Not the cheapest punch but it feels like it will last and stay sharp.
